The No. 1 Issue Facing America Today (no, it's not the Gulf Disaster)

[Scuba]

Last fall, ES&S quietly purchased Diebold, giving them 80% of market for electronic voting machings. And it's not just the un-auditable vote-counting; they now also own polling place check-in software (electronic pollbooks), voter registration software and vote-by-mail authentication software.

This link has very scary information, all with appropriate citations, regarding what could easily be a mass-manipulation of our elections.

They've already been caught registering voters who thought they were just signing petitions. Getting total registered voter numbers higher gives them more room to fudge numbers.

When you buy a pack of gum, you get a receipt. Why is there no receipt/audit trail on our votes? I can only think of one reason.

Why isn't this issue being discussed in Congress?

1. Why? Because

once there they are perfectly satisfied with the "system" that got them there, and once voted OUT, they no longer have the power to deal with it.:(

2. So by definition, they are traitors.

3. Just lazy greedy bastards

happily taking our votes and money, and then selling us out..but they make the laws, so they assuredly make those laws with loopholes that protect them and keep them "legal"

4. I like the receipt idea
